Today’s Mandala Message: Grow or Resist
This week I’m working through Principle #31 from Jack Canfield’s “The Success Principles” entitled “Embrace Change”. I set my intention today to ponder the idea of growing with change vs resisting it.
Canfield states: “When change happens, you can either cooperate with it and learn how to benefit from it or you can resist it and eventually get run over by it. It’s your choice.”
Over the years, I have learned to be better at adapting to change than I have in the past. Experience has shown me that most, if not all, changes have been to my benefit rather than my detriment. Probably the biggest helpful change I’ve embraced is having the willingness to change my mind about things/people/situations … that one change alone has made a world of difference.
A good mindfulness practice would be to embrace the ability to change our minds.
So how about you? How do you deal with change? Do you tend to resist it? Do you ease into it? Or do you go all in?
“Life is about not knowing,
— Gilda Radner
having to change,
taking the moment
and making the best of it,
without knowing
what’s going to happen
next.”
